Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been with Dr. West for 3 years now and I am very happy with his care. He is kind, listens intently and takes your concerns seriously. Dr. West will always take whatever time you need to discuss your issues in a manner that you can understand. His office is very efficient and I am always seen quickly. I highly recommend him.

Dr. West has been my husband's and my primary care physician for some 20 years. He is up-to-date medically. Just as importantly, he willingly discusses any problems brought to him in a calm manner, explaining without talking down to his patients. We are very pleased to have found such an excellent doctor to treat us from early mid-life into of our later years.

I just met with Dr West as my PCP for the first time today because of his reputation - and was not disappointed. He was kind, listened to the things I told him, commented on things as needed, and overall was very reassuring. Plus he works with my specialists. I found him to be very easy to talk to and confide in, something I can't say about many doctors. He is very gentle and knowledgeable, and earned a lot of credibility in my mind just from one visit. His staff was lovely as well.

My husband and I are seniors. We have been with Dr. West for 19 1/2 years and would not want to ever change. He is thorough and a good diagnostician. He is friendly and takes time to answer questions. Can't say enough good things about him and his team at Chesapeake Internists, Inc. He calls us to tell of important test results. He is like family, very comfortable to be with and talk to.. We feel confident in his medical care.

This physicians' group has recently hired a patient coordinator who is rude to Dr. West's patients. She will tell them they had their turn at asking questions, that he, Dr. West is now seeing other patients and that she cannot ask him another question, about today's visit. My aunt -a patient of Dr. West-20 yrs has a serious heart problem. She told by this employee, Samantha- that Dr. West would call her if he saw anything pertinent in her chart, to discuss. I doubt he said this.
